John and Marlena are two of the last people who need to be doling out marriage advice. Unless they're going to be held up as an example of what not to do. I don't like Nick's homophobia either, not just because of Nick's background, but because of who Nick is.

I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "who Nick is." I can't think of anything from his pre-Melanie obsession in his early days that would have revealed his feelings about homosexuality either way. He was a nice guy, but that doesn't mean he can't be homophobic.

Nick was a thoughtful person who tried to see the best in everyone. He might struggle with homophobia, but I certainly don't think he'd revel in it like this Nick does.

Fair enough. I don't think he's reveled in it though. Up until now, I think it's been played fairly subtlely - to the point that Will and Sonny don't seem to have really picked up on it. I guess I'll need to see how this whole thing comes out and reevaluate at that point.

By reveling in it, I meant being secure enough in the belief that it's a choice and a wrong choice that he's willing to use slurs.

To AFaithL, Jarlena are the only supercouple left, but they're still not people you should look to for the key to a successful marriage. Actually, considering that supercouples are known for getting married and divorced multiple times, that pretty much disqualifies all of them from leading by example when it comes to creating a successful marriage.
